gone with the wind it seems that recent climate change in moscow as an end to the recent forest fires that have been ravaging the nation. all talk and no action in the nicaraguan president says washington's promises of trains are falling flat criticizing the government for what he calls an aggressive policy and constant mandolin. punch to start the u.s. embrace of new cultural symbol in the face of outrageous reality stars some americans fear it's trashing the country's image abroad. and metals for us this segment of the good returns reversed or in london we'll explain why in

the business in twenty minutes. at seven pm in moscow when this is arts you coming to you live with me a nice and now way first the final state of emergency imposed due to russia's drought and wildfires has been lifted the cost of the damage caused by the record breaking heat wave is approaching four hundred million dollars. has the latest on the fires across russia it seems that the emergencies ministry did report that all most of the country's fires have been played out specifically in the moscow region as you can see the weather is completely different to what we've gotten used to over the past few weeks it's actually quite cold people are wearing jumpers sweaters at the recent wind. and grain according to the emergencies ministry helped

a lot in extinguishing the fires and neutralizing a localizing all the existing fires in the moscow region but the fires in other parts of the country are still ravaging the nation in central russia and of the most affected regions like the region overdesigned for example there forest fires are still ravaging the countryside thousands have already lost their homes the government has been paying compensation and has promised to rebuild all of the homes that have been destroyed by the fire but now with the warm weather coming to an end many people are already worrying about whether they'll be able to actually welcome in the cold and the winter and your home or whether they'll be still facing building construction processes when it comes down to the brush a winter which as everybody knows is no mean feat the of families of all those who lost loved ones in the fires were paid over a million roubles in compensation you know they are hundred million rubles has

already been paid out to those who were affected by the forest fires the russian prime minister's monitoring. practically personally monitoring the construction processes in some part of the country web cameras have been set up in order for the government and those responsible to be able to monitor the construction process a lot is being done but of course the situation is nowhere near over despite the fact that the forest fires have lessened and the murders use ministry is doing a better job of controlling them the situation is no where near an end. well the choking smog that enveloped the capital in parts of central russia raise serious concerns about the possible impact on the contras a college and let's assess the long term effects of the heat wave with the campaign director agri from russia block of hi there yvonne what do you believe will be the major of fact of the unprecedented heat wave and the fires and smog that followed it. i was

just saying what what do you think will be the effect of the unprecedented heat wave and all the fires and smog that we saw here in moscow and around moscow in august. so. i got a very bad. ok we seem to have technical problems we'll try to return to yvonne block of later in the program. now turkish police could soon be seen patrolling the streets of germany as part of a new plan to bring increasingly volatile immigrant communities in the country under control but as artie's tom barton has been finding out critics say it's just another example of discrimination. crystal time feels like a stranger in her own country daily she enjoys the summer parks and life here in this cologne suburb when not working as a doctor but she feels totally numb does. it all happened very

silently without anyone noticing much the german population will do their children were taken out of the schools and suddenly there are only turks here. there are around two million turkish citizens living in germany with many more having adopted german citizenship special worker recruitment agreements from the one nine hundred sixty s. made germany the destination of choice for turkish economic migrants. are immigrant . was that when you did the work for now we have room to move you make them all to make. you great. but as well as being the largest ethnic minority some believe they're also the worst written into their new society if there was a probably it's a big problem that the turks of the last generation haven't integrated would have developed further away we have fifteen to twenty year olds who have moved further away from german culture than old immigrants this is a big effect on their behavior. procol known as

a small group and although many germans think multiculturalism isn't working many also think turks should be allowed religious cultural freedom was. the great that they are all the way ordinary were. they behave a little when we went to some of these areas many turks themselves denied there were problems taken out as they were trying to live together and hand to stand there are still problems but it's not true that turks can't integrate that we all get along there are many turks russians germans and arabs here on t.v. in the media they talk about people shooting each other and fighting but that's not the case here. but not all where are we going to feel that. way. as well as a cultural divide there's also the more serious problem of crime unemployment among

young turks in germany is high the resulting boredom leading to delinquency crystal has seen it all passion betty stepped in violence that's why. the younger ones do much themselves drugs what turns don't drink as we know it but they do fight each other. and they don't just face off with fellow turks the new plan police from turkey will help their german counterparts patrol troublesome neighborhoods those behind it don't want segregation but rather a more sympathetic approach to policing turkish communities bust them so they of course the german police can handle the situation but there have been lots of recent reports about attacks and violence against police officers who try to enforce law in such problematic regions with the high violence potential so we have to think about what we could do better. but the plan is getting a lot of criticism some saying it's clear evidence the police don't know how to

deal with turkish communities and crystal is one of those who thinks it's discrimination against turks you have not really i don't like this plan the russian polish minorities don't have police it's not fair for the turkish to have them you have turkish police other people won't respond german police. this is the main turkish street in the old german city of cologne in streets like this that these new police officers are intended for and it's on streets like this the people will decide whether this plan as an example of police and militia to all of a failure to engage with germany's immigrant population tom barton r.t. cologne germany we're going to return to our top story enters the fact the wildfires and the toxics mark around moscow has had on its people we're joined now by evolve block of the campaign director at greenpeace russia hi there yvonne what do you believe will be the major of fact of the unprecedented heat wave. as.

it were for us for i was there been a big impact on your one thought at that moment it's too early to talk about and one member answered but the fact. that that's right in moscow hearings that the place was growing up to two to four times the bending on different estimates and again that's not to talk about several thousand people who died because of the huge wave and fires small and. the consequences and fire small or. obviously it's had a great impact on humans a great danger do you think and when do you think we'll be able to assess the ecological recovery it's very complicated to talk about recovery or at least what we can tell that is already predicted that people will suffer from influenza this year much sooner is that sound pretty this time that was a conclusion of the g eight summit there on top of the counter and what we've been told so what's being true is that there is the problem is this human system of

people and people need somehow to recover from that but anyway consequences also moneths side of. time samson applied serious for an additional long period of time as well as from fine particles which must have very high concentration in moscow and then there are several other cities that's why we don't face consequences of such a common occurrence for coming few months and years and falls into one month that will be dk. do you think that this heat wave is a sign of climate change and that will see it happen again next summer. i can easily imagine that similar situation where happened i did specifically because this system will for us to control is a country is totally ruined and there are no general board which is responsible for suppressing the forest fire what is existing now in small business in that region which have no capacity to stop fires and the example of most of the region and

surrounding areas is a good one to demonstrate what is certain in the country and that once it was as i definite destroying few months. right you walk over from greenpeace russia thank you very much for your analysis. now latin america needs to consolidate to be able to challenge the united states which treats the region as its backyard so says nicaraguan president daniel ortega who's given an exclusive interview to r.t. . the world is changing the u.s. isn't this isn't a problem just for latin america but rather for the entire world this country has military and economic power and at the same time it's not changing its expansionary and imperialist policy. carry on the same policy as always and they've been acting just like in the past their policy is of unwelcome intervention of coups and

threats and. what could have been done to find a way out of the situation. a lot and all of us supported the new format of relations with the united states whenever i speak to presidents of latin american countries no matter how conservative they are private they condemn the united states added to the words of them they are against the fact that the us government attributes points to them in their own classification of what government can support their idea of the us acting like a greedy judge which gives you two points for democracy human rights and fighting against drug trafficking in your own currency who in turn will judge the us of course it gives way to emotions to speak about the economy about the protectionist policy of the u. was in european countries nobody agrees with that the thing is that we have not learned so far to organize or latin american area to consolidate our able latin american people which will enable us to negotiate with europe and the us and with

developed countries and reasonable terms there was that we can watch the full interview with daniel ortega next hour here on r.t. at eight thirty pm moscow time. also coming up for you in the program she's the talk of america. the serious note. here find out why an outspoken reality star is a modern day icon taps are in the public's imagination. as a. russian build nuclear power plant was loaded with fuel in the wrong city of cher on saturday the start up received mixed reaction from across the globe although israel called the idea of the sation totally unacceptable the u.s. said the facility poses no proliferation risk but as a political analyst. says iran's move to become nuclear powered has not only strained relations in the middle east it has left the country's arab neighbors in the persian gulf unnerved to. i think you're on the neighbors very

cautious and. very much fear that the move towards. iran to become nuclear poets can be just a step on the way for you to be. armed that's why i think an arms race. is already intensifying in the middle east look at iran's arab neighbors arab states of the persian gulf they've been engaging in curing messing with fighter jets missiles and so on so i think this drive with iran to become a nuclear power. straining relationship in the persian gulf as well as in the broader middle east. that's coming up to quarter past the hour let's take a look at some world news in brief for you a hostage crisis in the philippines is now over after a hijacked bus was stormed by police of the fifteen people who had been held

about thirty countries around the world are gripped by a t.v. show that follows her life and she's even grabs president obama's attention who is she known simply as nookie artie's marina porton i have talked to the streets of new york to find out what all the fuss is about. she's the legendary sex goddess who in nam heard the world. symbol glamour and famous for. the fifty's gave us now women row with each passing decade america embraced a new icon who created trends and fed fantasies. but to these it for a snow cave snooki look it's look it's no it's not be it's here snooki or nicole khaleesi is the smallest and hannah just cast member of m.t.v.'s reality show we're sure. from wall street. to the record and the one who got me into the big house.

business the chief executive of north nickel tells us he's worried the company could be used as a cash cow when the battle for control is resolved so i can see that they were put in at all if they're looking steak i want to buy the other out but see overlooked it missed those of course he says the interests of the company must come first. i think you're proud. of this situation is quite difficult as you know there are several ways shareholders and managers view it something that you should take all you can now without thinking of the company's future other shareholders who are in for the long term think that such a policy would slow down the company's development and would have a negative impact in the future what i'm convinced that if you drain all the money out to the dividends it will seriously affect the local society salaries and tax receipts everything should be in dividends should be reasonable and not prevent the companies development. what you would watch as a cultural sector has lost around one billion dollars due to the drought the

ministry of agriculture says more than a quarter of its arable land was damaged with sixteen thousand farm reporting losses the balls majority of the cost of the drought will be borne either by the farmers themselves or the government insurance industry will be making some payouts but due to the low level of coverage in the sector its losses will be minimal and those the country's leading insurer explains this is not an ideal state of affairs due to the fact that they put information level is not so deep and roughly ten percent of for agricultural and suppresses i've been assured they impact could be much more a deeper. level of penetration is higher the second side is that the weather conditions and the development of insurance industry in their agricultural sphere demonstrate the necessity of your regulations and new attitudes of the states towards

a group culture insurance. russian stock markets and it must be practically changed with many investors taking a break and the last week of the holiday season russia's largest oil company leaked two thirds of a percent on the my six as the price of light sweet home is near six weeks and if they're shooting today. uncertainty about how the global economy is going to develop is making itself felt in the commodities markets simon denham from london capital group says sentiment is turning bearish. the prospects for these these products do to a certain extent rely on the far east we know what's what europe and america to assert to a great extent and we know what their demand is but if china can continue to grow quickly then the prospects for the price of steel should be good the problem is is that everybody knows that and so we're worried now of course why is it still going higher at the moment it's stagnating and looking fragile and so again we run here

into the wall of what people think about growth where is it going and unfortunately people are just starting to worry and so so metals are again looking weak and you giants may be about severe on the global communications markets russia's vimpel com is reportedly in talks to buy two telecom companies italy's wind and middle eastern or eskom for six billion dollars the us it's a currently owned by egyptian tycoon negatives so we're it's nick pool reports vimpel com is in talks to buy one hundred percent of the wind and fifty one percent or a scum the russian operator will reportedly from the deal with shares and around one billion dollars in cash if it goes through vimpel com will more than double the number of its users but analysts say the main attraction is the development opportunities it offers an asia russia and ukraine. growth drivers. at least both keir starmer and will com russia
